Sports Massage
Sports Massage is important in the prevention of, as well as a treatment for an injury.
While sports massage is often associated with athletes and those involved in physical activities, it is greatly beneficial to other individuals who do not engage in sports. Regular massages can help alleviate stress and tension, which can accumulate from daily activities, work, or emotional pressures. A sports massage can also improve circulation, flexibility, and range of motion, making everyday movements feel easier and more comfortable.
Sports massage is a treatment involving manipulation and mobilisation of soft tissues. Many different movements and techniques are used from remedial to deep tissue.
The physical and psychological benefits of sports massage are for everyone and not just sports people, which include:
- Increased flexibility and joint range of movement
- Decreased muscle tension
- Reduced scar tissue
- Reduced muscular pain and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
- Improved overall wellbeing
- Improved sleep
- Supported functional, pain-free everyday movement as well as athletic performance
Research shows that athletes receiving regular sports massage perceive they are less fatigued and recover quicker from training and sport along with other benefits such as improved mood and better sleep.
